---

BARCS Rescue is a no-kill organization based in Calgary and operates in the Kootenays region of British Columbia. They are committed to educating the public and ensuring Calgary and other areas remain responsible and free of Breed Specified Legislation (BSL). They rescue dogs who are on death row at high kill shelters with the goal of placing them in loving, permanent homes. They advocate for dogs who are on death row solely due to the way they look. 

Recognizing that every dog deserves a chance, BARCS will not discriminate based on age, health, or breed. They will dedicate every resource at their disposal to the physical, emotional, and behavioral rehabilitation of each animal that is rescued.  BARCS vision is of a world where all pets are well cared for in loving homes for life & away from the threat of Breed Specified Legislation - because of how they look. We aim to achieve this vision by:

• Promoting good animal welfare and responsible pet ownership by providing support, guidance and education to members of the public.
• Working with many organizations to help animals, whoever and wherever the need is.
• Providing the best possible care for all animals.
• Setting standards of animal welfare in Canada, the USA and beyond.

Global Pet Foods Edgemont has chosen to support this charity because one of our staff is a core volunteer within BARCS Rescue. We love to support our staff and their passions, especially when it means we can help Rescues and save lives.  Our store prides itself with our community involvement, and our cozy family culture that we have created. BARCS rescue shares the same values, by showing endless appreciation to their volunteers, supporters, and partners. Like us, they pride themselves with being open, honest, and dedicated in every aspect of their work.
